Sonitrol TotalGuard Performs Flawlessly for this Satisfied Customer
Brandenburg Auto enjoys full protection and valuable peace of mind for their
family-run business


3xLOGIC, Inc., a leading provider of integrated, intelligent security solutions, and a three-time Deloitte Technology Fast 500 winner, today announced yet another successful apprehension, courtesy of sister company, Sonitrol's, incredibly effective TotalGuard technology. Sonitrol of Lexington, Kentucky performed the system installation and does on-going 24/7/365 monitoring.

Brandenburg Auto is a small, family-owned and operated auto repair shop in Lexington, Kentucky, run by Jack Brandenburg and his son, Jack Jr. The business had recently experienced a break-in, during which the phone line was cut prior to entry, rendering their previous security system incapable of sending alerts when the intrusion occurred.

Brandenburg Senior was initially reluctant to deploy the new Sonitrol TotalGuard solution, as he felt they already had cameras and he was concerned because the new technology would not have a keypad. However, after Danny Goodpaster, Sonitrol Security Consultant, demonstrated the technology and showed him a video of an actual break-in resulting in an apprehension, both father and son decided to move forward.

Recap: RFID Journal LIVE! Retail @ RetailX
Solving Retail Challenges via RFID

At RetailX, consultants and experts from organizations such as Ralph Lauren, GS1 and Auburn University discussed how the use of radio frequency identification favors business.

Using radio frequency identification technology as a business tool offers several challenges, as RFID Sherpas consultant Kristen Munroe said during the first day of RFID Journal LIVE! Retail @ RetailX, held this week in Chicago, Illinois.

According to Mark Roberti, RFID Journal's founder and editor, RFID plays an important role, especially at these times, because it reduces the time to process, while accelerating the acquisition of product information, such as an item's real-time location.

Munroe, Ralph Lauren's chief operating officer, said RFID streamlines processes and makes life easier for professionals involved in business processes, by adding more features that solve business problems.

The themes of standardization and blockchain also gained space with the participation of speakers from GS1 and Auburn University, who presented studies including a comparison of the benefits of RFID and barcodes. The study shows that some brands and retailers are using blockchain and RFID to solve common challenges, including reducing complaints or returns, as well as enhancing product authentication. rfidjournal.com

NRF Protect 2019:
How to handle workplace complaints
4 tips for LP professionals

"LP guys sometimes have to act like HR people," says David Thompson, vice president of operations for Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates. When incidents such as sexual harassment, workplace violence, bullying or fraternizing are brought to their attention, LP leaders are often on the front lines to handle such complaints. Training is crucial in knowing what to say, how to act and, most importantly, how to gather as much information as possible. At NRF PROTECT, NRF's annual loss prevention event, Thompson outlined how an intake interview is likely to be influenced by biases that come with experience and offered tips and best practices to preserve true facts.

Retail & food service jobs take 'brutal psychological toll' on workers
'Poor sleep, psychological distress and lower levels of happiness'

The rallying cry for millions of workers is a $15 an hour minimum wage. But in addition to low pay, erratic schedules are another bane of American workers, particularly in food service and retail: They interfere mightily with family life and are associated, our research finds, with poor sleep, psychological distress and lower levels of happiness.

Our survey affirmed the scope of the problem. Only about one in five of the people we surveyed work a regular daytime shift. About two-thirds of workers receive their weekly work schedule with less than two weeks' notice, and one third get less than one week's notice. Sixteen percent get less than 72 hours' notice - a scenario that makes it basically impossible to plan child care, family meals or homework time.

A particular onerous task demanded of retail and food-service workers is to work a closing shift and then, immediately afterward, the opening shift (say, closing the store at 11 p.m. then returning to open a few hours later). That's called a "clopening," and half of our respondents said they'd worked one.

There's a strong case for raising the minimum wage. But our research suggests that regulations that impose some semblance of order on workers' hours could have an even bigger impact on workers' well-being than a raise. washingtonpost.com

Macy's recently named in a suit alleging its criminal background screening policy discriminates against certain applicants and employees
Earlier this week, a lawsuit was filed against Macy's, Inc. in the Southern District of New York alleging the company has an "unnecessarily punitive criminal history screening policy." The suit itself was filed by Youth Represent (YR), the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF), and the law firm of Outten & Golden LLP (O&G). According to the allegations detailed in the lawsuit, Macy's screening policy "disproportionately disqualifies Black and Latinx applicants and employees from job opportunities," which violates not only Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 but also the New York City Human Rights Law.

The plaintiffs in the case include Jenetta Rolfer and The Fortune Society, Inc. Together, the plaintiffs hope to bring about a change to Macy's screening policy that often "results in a disproportionate number of otherwise qualified Black and Latinx job applicants and employees being denied employment or terminated due to their criminal background histories, including for minor or very old convictions that are unrelated to the positions at issue."

One of the plaintiff's, Rolfer, argues in the suit that she was a victim of Macy's policy. According to her, she was hired as a member of the store's Credit Granting Department, but was later "abruptly terminated by the company for a misdemeanor conviction stemming from a decade-old traffic-related incident." legalreader.com

Family of robbery suspect killed by Phoenix police plans $6M lawsuit
The family of an armed robbery suspect fatally shot by Phoenix police in January is planning to sue the city for $6 million in the third multimillion-dollar claim over alleged misconduct by officers this month. The family and their supporters say the young man was fleeing and posed no threat when police shot him in the back. When the Jan. 11 shooting was first reported, police said Harris pointed a handgun at officers before they fired.

"They shot Jacob in the back," Roland Harris said in a press release. "They lied about Jacob and made up a story that he threatened them. It never happened. "The only thing my son did was run for his life, and the cops shot him in cold blood."

Black and white thermal video from a police helicopter that was leaked to 12 News on Wednesday shows a person getting out of a car and running away before falling forward and lying still. After 12 News broadcast the footage, representatives for Harris' family distributed a 13-second clip of the incident. "The video footage is damning for the police department and shows that Jacob never once threatened the police," Horne said in the release. Sgt. Tommy Thompson released a statement Wednesday saying the video had been released to the TV station in error. ktar.com

Couple embezzles over $5M from Jacksonville cigar company Swisher International
A man arrested last year along with his wife in the embezzlement of $5 million from Jacksonville's Swisher International continued to use that money for legal issues and other things after being released on bond, according his new arrest warrant. Gretchen Michele Camp, a 37-year-old former tax manager for Swisher, was first arrested Dec. 3 after a State Attorney's Office investigation showed money diverted from the almost century-old cigar company. According to her husband's initial warrant, Gretchen Camp told Swisher officials she had created the bogus invoices "at the direction of this suspect [her husband] because he wanted more than she could afford to buy on her salary." She said the money was used to buy a 460-acre farm in Metter, Ga., to build a cabin and other buildings and equipment to work the land. She also told investigators the money went to buy lots of gold and silver "due to the fact that her husband is preparing for the fall of the U.S. government," the warrant said. jacksonville.com

Chick-fil-A is America's Favorite Restaurant Chain, Again
Americans really love Chick-fil-A. For the fourth year in a row, the Georgia-based chicken chain has been named America's favorite restaurant, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index. The index is based on input from nearly 23,000 consumers. The chain, whose customer service is perhaps just as well-known as its food, scored an 86 on the 100-point scale, down one point from last year.

Coming in third (behind a collection of smaller companies) was Panera with a score of 81. Four chains tied for fourth with a score of 80: Arby's, Chipotle, Papa John's and Pizza Hut. Other popular chains scored much lower. KFC scored 78, Burger King 76 and Taco Bell 75. McDonald's was among the lowest with a score of 69. Chick-fil-A's sales are also soaring. Though its stores are open only six days a week, the company managed to generate more than $10.5 billion in sales in its most recent fiscal year, making it No. 3 in the industry behind McDonald's and Starbucks, according to Nation's Restaurant News  kgun9.com

UK: Unions and retailers urge action over violence in shops
Tougher sentences need to be brought in for people who assault shop workers, retailers and unions have urged, after it emerged there are around 115 attacks every day.

The letter to the home secretary, the lord chancellor and the minister for crime, safeguarding and vulnerability, called for a specific new offence of assaulting a retail worker. It recommended that offenders are sentenced in the same way as somebody who attacks an emergency services worker would. Last year, the maximum prison sentence for someone who assaults emergency services staff increased from six to 12 months.

According to the Association of Convenience Stores there were 10,000 incidents of violence and abuse last year in the stores its members work in alone, while the British Retail Consortium said 115 shop staff were attacked every day. personneltoday.com

Former Equifax CIO Sentenced to Prison for Insider Trading
Jun Ying, former chief information officer of Equifax US Information Solutions, has been sentenced to four months in federal prison and a year of supervised release for insider trading.

In March 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Ying with insider trading ahead of Equifax's disclosure of a massive data breach in September 2017. As an executive within a US business unit of Equifax, Ying was privy to sensitive information that led him to conclude the company had been breached in August 2017, weeks before the incident was made public.

On Aug. 25, 2017, Ying messaged a colleague to warn Equifax may have been breached. A few days later he exercised all of his stock options and received 6,815 shares of Equifax stock, which he sold to receive proceeds of $950,000. He realized a gain of more than $480,000 - avoiding a loss of over $117,000. Equifax announced the breach on Sept. 7; its stock price fell. darkreading.com

Breach at Cloud Solution Provider PCM Inc.
Customer info likely stolen for gift card fraud

A digital intrusion at PCM Inc., a major U.S.-based cloud solution provider, allowed hackers to access email and file sharing systems for some of the company's clients, KrebsOnSecurity has learned.

CISOs: We're Losing the Skills Race With Black Hats
'Talent and Skills most important weapons in cyber-arms race'

Nearly half of CISOs in the UK, France and Germany believe they're losing the skills race with cyber-criminals, according to new research from Symantec.

The security giant teamed up with London's Goldsmiths University to poll over 3000 IT security decision makers across the three countries. The resulting report, High Alert: Tackling Cyber Security Overload in 2019, has some alarming findings.

Over two-fifths (44%) claimed their teams lack the necessary skills to tackle threats effectively, and 37% said they are overwhelmed with heavy workloads, although these figures dropped to 38% and 23% in the UK, respectively.

Goldsmiths director of innovation, Chris Brauer, argued that talent and skills are now the most important weapons in the cyber-arms race. infosecurity-magazine.com

Trump officials want to outlaw unbreakable encryption, report says
As tech companies double down on promises to better protect users' privacy, the US government may have other ideas. Senior Trump officials reportedly met Wednesday to discuss asking Congress to pass legislation that would stop tech companies from using encryption that law enforcement can't break, according to a report from Politico.

The National Security Council meeting to deliberate the encryption issue -- which the government reportedly calls "going dark" -- consisted of the second-in-commands from several agencies, according to Politico, but no decision was made in the meeting. cnet.com

Bot Fraud Grows Across All Mobile Businesses And Now Threatens Apps
The latest cybercrime research from ThreatMetrix, a LexisNexis Risk Solutions company providing business security solutions, reveals that companies were hit by 3 billion automated bot attacks in the last six months of 2018. Drawing from internal data spanning 17 billion transactions (processed from July 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018), the ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Report 2H 2018 observes 189 million bot attacks originated from mobile devices. That's up 12% compared to the previous six months. This terrifying trend will probably gain momentum. "Fraudsters always go where the money is, and with a continual volume shift to mobile, it is likely that mobile attacks will similarly continue to rise," the report concludes. forbes.com

How to Protect Your Customer's Personal Data Against Security Breaches
in the Digital Age

Pete MacInnis, founder, and CEO of eLend Solutions joins CBT News to talk about digital retailing, and the changes it has caused from the traditional world of customer information. Pete talks about how PII, personal identifiable information, has transitioned not only to online transactions but also to more considerable data, such as customer's social security numbers.

However, the industry seems to look at this data as more enhanced, without the consideration of protecting this data. In addition, Pete says that fraud doesn't happen where dealers expect it to, such as during an online credit application. But rather fraud actually happens when the data is sitting unused within the company's servers or when it is being accessed through these servers, and Pete says that it is here that proper authentication and security is crucial.

Facebook and Ebay Warned to Fix Fake Review Problem or Face Fines
Ebay and Facebook are facing new pressures to confront the ongoing problem of users buying and selling the reviews via their platforms.

The U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has urged the companies to crack down on the sale of fake reviews, which are illegal under the country's consumer protection laws. The watchdog agency reviewed activity on the marketplaces over an eight month period and found over 100 eBay listings and 26 Facebook groups offering fake or misleading reviews for sale or trade.

It allowed that Facebook and Ebay aren't intentionally facilitating these transactions (in both cases, they violate the sites' terms of service) but said the companies must do more to prevent them. footwearnews.com

The defendants had opened at least 19 seller accounts on Amazon's online store and, through these accounts, had unlawfully advertised and sold products bearing counterfeit trademarks of Nite Ize, according to the claim. Amazon, after receiving notice from Nite Ize, confirmed the unlawful sale of counterfeit Nite Ize products and blocked the seller accounts.

Networking has always been a key to career development and finding that next job. However, if you're not careful it can also limit you, eliminate you and even work against you. If your network is comprised of executives doing exactly what you do, then you may have competition and may even find some working against you. You've got to broaden and expand your network outside your immediate group and establish relationships outside your company and your professional circle. Remembering that quantity is no substitute for quality and, as in any mutually beneficial relationship, what you bring to the table for them is as important as what they bring to the table for you.

Just a Thought,
Gus
